Summary

Active SECRET Clearance

I am driven to create an impact by spearheading innovation and contributing to mission-critical projects focused on space, defense, and particularly radar technology. Currently serve as the Lead Requirements and Systems Integrator for the AN/TPY-2 ground sensor at the Missile Defense Agency. In this role, I am responsible for developing, reviewing, and approving element-level requirements aligned with system specifications, coordinate extensively within the agency to deploy the latest software builds, and support the Chief Systems Engineer. My core interests lie in discrimination and electronic warfare, areas where I provide substantial support across diverse engineering directorates.
